Chapter 1594: Counter-Tracking! Lock Onto the Demon Clan

"What, unwilling?" Xu Jingming looked at her with a half-smile.

Through the soul connection of the Soul-Eroding Mark, he could clearly sense Vera's petty thoughts.

"I… I wouldn't dare…"

Vera drooped her small head listlessly, her heart-shaped tail hanging limp.

"Yes, Master… I'll cooperate next time."

But inside, she was bleeding internally.

My spiritual force origin! This is truly a massive loss!

Xu Jingming nodded in satisfaction and ignored her.

He raised his hand and summoned forth the mangled remains of Ake, pulling them into his grasp from the forest.

The corpse of the Insect Queen is also valuable material, exchangeable for considerable military merit.

Yet at this moment, Xu Jingming cared more about another matter.

"Deep Blue."

With a thought, a pale blue system interface unfolded within his mind.

【Source Points】: 6.61 billion

"6.61 billion…"

Xu Jingming's pupils contracted slightly, then surged with wild joy!

That hours-long battle against the insect horde had yielded a staggering 3.2 billion source points!

"The Insect Queen truly lives up to her reputation!"

Xu Jingming couldn't help but praise.

The harvest from just one Ake equaled an entire month of his previous grueling battles!

"Insects are great! Only insects!"

His smile beamed, as if endless source points were waving at him.

"Still claiming you're not a masochist—what's with that expression?"

The succubus little girl muttered softly.

She became even more certain of Xu Jingming's kink.

All she could say was that, right now, Xu Jingming looked utterly miserable in her mind.

"Next, I hope to encounter more insects!"

He stowed away Ake's remains.

Xu Jingming unfurled his Thunderwing, black lightning exploding as he sped onward toward the Starfall Divine Palace.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

In a dark valley, Lin Qianxue shook her spear.

The dark crimson killing aura coiled around its shaft erupted violently, summoning thunderous lightning across the sky!

Annihilating thunder ripped through the heavens like an enraged dragon.

Carrying a chilling, bone-deep killing intent, it instantly reduced a demon to charred ash.

"Seventh one…"

Lin Qianxue sheathed her spear and stood still, her pale golden eyes gazing far into the distance, a trace of worry rising in their depths.

"I wonder how things are going with Little Master."

The demons can lock onto his location—this journey won't be peaceful."

"Little Master's whereabouts have been locked by the demons—this journey won't be peaceful."

She sighed softly, her slender figure appearing even colder beneath the starlight.

"All I can do is kill as many demons as possible to ease your burden."

As her words faded, her form turned into a streak of blue lightning, darting once more into the distance.

Half a month later.

Over a barren plain, Xu Jingming casually thrust out his spear.

A black thunder blade pierced the void, pinning a fire demon attempting to ambush him to the ground.

【Ding! Killed a Cosmic Peak One-Horned Demon—Source Points +9.5 million!】

The system notification chimed.

"Not bad."

Xu Jingming smiled and waved his hand to collect the demon's corpse.

These demons were like automatic meal delivery.

They kept appearing one after another, bringing him source points—it was simply too delightful.

"Tsk, killed another."

Vera's soul form emerged from his consciousness sea, hovering beside Xu Jingming.

Her large purple eyes swept over the demon corpse, her heart-shaped tail hanging limp:

"Just trash…"

When will we go kill the bloodline of that bitch, the Illusion Demon?

I can't wait to get my revenge!"

By the end, a fierce hatred twisted her small face.

Her left canine tooth ground audibly.

It's been nearly two months since we entered the secret realm.

Lin Yin never came looking for me, which suggests she's probably not interested in me.

Or, she has a more important target.

Xu Jingming fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"This is troublesome."

Vera grew impatient, "We'll probably have to wait until the Starfall Divine Palace opens to find her!"

That's too long! I can't wait any longer!"

Vera gritted her teeth, then suddenly her eyes darted.

She turned to Xu Jingming with an obedient expression, swaying her body, and said:

"Master~~, next time we encounter the Demon Clan, can you not kill them all?"

"Leave one alive—I have a way to trace Lin Yin's location through him!"

"Oh? You can do something like that?"

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

"Of course!"

Vera puffed out her small chest, looking proud:

"I am the Undying Sovereign of the Succubus Clan—soul tracking is one of my signature skills!"

She left a perception demon seal on you that can be tracked."

"It accidentally revealed a weakness—I can use it to trace her backward!"

"Fine, next time leave one alive." Xu Jingming did not refuse.

After all, they'll all be killed anyway—earlier or later makes no difference.

It's just that the Bloodthirsty Demon Seal is still too authoritative.

Only half a day later, Xu Jingming encountered another demon come to assassinate him.

"Human! Die!"

The demon roared, tearing through the sky, its demonic energy forming a monstrous claw that swept down from above!

Xu Jingming didn't even lift his eyelids; he merely raised his right hand.

Crackling—

A piercing roar of lightning erupted as Doushen Shenlei surged forth.

Condensing into solid-looking black lightning chains!

Sssshhh—!

The lightning chains coiled like venomous snakes, instantly binding the demon's limbs.

No matter how it struggled and roared, no matter how its demonic energy exploded,

The chains remained unmoved, tightening further, sinking deep into its carapace!

"Roar! Let me go, vile human!"

The demon thrashed wildly, its crimson eyes filled with savagery.

But Xu Jingming no longer paid it any attention; his gaze turned inward to his consciousness sea.

"Vera, it's your turn."

"Finally, it's my turn!"

The succubus girl's soul form eagerly emerged.

She hovered before the bound demon, her slender jade finger lightly touching the air.

Hum—

A pink-purple mist spread outward.

Transforming into countless hair-thin spiritual tendrils, silently piercing the demon's forehead!

"Ughhhhh—!"

The demon convulsed violently, letting out a piercing scream.

The dark-purple perception demon seal on its forehead suddenly flared, as if forcibly activated by an invisible force!

Complex patterns surfaced across the seal, each line pointing toward a distant direction.

"Found it!"

Vera's eyes lit up, her heart-shaped tail wagging excitedly:

"Not far from here—only about forty thousand kilometers! In the southeast direction!"

"Forty thousand kilometers?"

Xu Jingming's lips curled into a cold smile:

"Good. Let's go."

He grabbed with his right hand; the lightning chains contracted.

Dragging the mortally wounded demon behind him like a dead dog.

His black lightning wings unfurled behind him, roaring as they shattered the air!

Boom—!

Lightning exploded; Xu Jingming became a streak of black lightning, shooting toward the southeast.

Under ten-thousandfold gravity, his speed was slower than outside, but still extremely fast.

"If only I had a World Ring."

Xu Jingming glanced at the writhing burden behind him, sighing inwardly.

A World Ring contains an independent space capable of storing living beings.

If only I had one, I could just throw this demon inside—why go through all this trouble?

Unfortunately, such a treasure is incredibly precious.

He killed so many alien races, yet never obtained a single World Ring.

"Maybe this time I'll get one."

Xu Jingming felt a flicker of anticipation.

Lin Yin is the demon race's princess; killing her might yield a decent loot.
